Inhibition of Gastric Erosion Formations in Rats by Adenosine, 5 /-Adenosine Monophosphate and 5 /- Adenosine Diphosphate
Abstract
Gastric erosions were induced in rats with indomethacin, 5-hydoxytryptamine (5-HT) or reserpine. Three adenine compounds adenosine, adenosine, 5 /-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and 5 /- adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were found to protect against the erosion formations. Both 5-HT and reserpine caused untimely deaths of some of the control animals. Also the adenine compounds prevented the untimely deaths caused by the two ulcerogenes.
